Mine is not from hiro. Hiro sold to Guava. Mine is from Aris.

I'm surprised (but not surprised at all) to hear that people remember that I used to be in the bow game. At my peak, I had 3 req 8 15^50 dead bows, but I can't tell you anymore who I sold them to.

I can say for sure, though, that I sold a significant portion of my collection to Spun Ducky. It's perfectly possible that his trifecta of Dead bows were mine.

At this point, all that's left from my once-glorious bow collection is the req 8 +5e fleshy hornbow. For a while, people were in the habit of telling me that there were (or that there must be) others like it, but -- as far as I know -- no such bow has appeared...I'm still a little curious to hear if anyone's found one.

But, all of that aside (and it really can all be set aside...it's really just trivia) I loved seeing a req 8 15^50 dead bow. Haven't seen one in a long time. It's a thing of beauty. For the love of Tyria, please leave it that way

Glad I could give you some bow eye candy.

. I figured a lot of people haven't seen one in a long time, and it's the kind of item that is worthy of being shown in a thread like this. It's one of the items that I own that I log into my account just to see.

It's one of the greatest and one of the most under appreciated things to come out of Tyria in my opinion, and my ranger loves holding on to it. Maybe the single most unappreciated rare Tyrian item IMO. Sephis axes are way more appreciated it seems.

Anyhow, that aside, I plan on keeping it on her as a relic of times past for a long long long time. (Translation - it's never gonna be for sale

). It's a permanent exhibit in my museum of a couple really nice guild wars items so people can see it for generations to come.

I remember I sold like 2 q8 15/50 dead bows also, but thats a few years ago now already.

StueyG · Oct 17, 2015, 06:14 AM // 06:14

I remember seeing a few R8 15^50 dead bows here and there over the years. A few naga and bramble but both of those are a bit skewed as well because they dropped in a few styles and dead is just the recurve. They are all rare as heck.

Dead bows I remember they were fairly hard to find any of them long ago, but now they are so common it's stupid. Went from a rare drop to one of the most common drops in the game now, like sephis axes.

While dead bows are extremely rare, I just found the skin to be ugly personally. Sephis axes always had a popular following though. Was a pretty unique axe, and axes were well used in those days.

Heck dwarven axes are super rare but most people go on and on about crystalines swords.

dead bows rare as, they only dropped from bone dragons back in the day as they were literally the only mobs that were max level undead.

Pleikki · Oct 17, 2015, 11:02 AM // 11:02

Dead bows dropa hells precipice chests raptors and most q8 15^50 came there afaik

Amen to this, at least the non-inscribable ones.

Pleikki · Oct 17, 2015, 04:07 PM // 16:07

Yes im almost posting my super manly q13 15^50 dwarven here

MaxBorken · Oct 17, 2015, 04:13 PM // 16:13

Yea, non-inscribable Crystallines are so 2005.

I love anything rare and exclusive. Anything that requires total connoisseur-ship to appreciate.

Dwarven axes & hammers, Crystallines, Tyrian Serpent axes, Krytan axes, and of course, the excruciatingly rare Swamp Club. Pre-nerf goodies.

But more than the items, I love the appreciation of such items. It's what drives us to collect and celebrate them. That's why we do it.

Zephyr of Light · Oct 17, 2015, 04:53 PM // 16:53

Aye, i'd like too have a clean golden dwarven axe.
But such thing is not laid away for me, doubt there actually is one today on a live account.

Gentleman Xander · Oct 17, 2015, 05:03 PM // 17:03

I think clean gold dwarven axes are still able to drop, since they drop in EotN and you can also get a clean BDS. Atleast that's what I think... I don't know much, just sharing what's on my mind

Yes. Also UW/fow foes are undead which were able drop q8s for quite sometime since q8 drops were nerfed

superraptors · Oct 18, 2015, 01:43 AM // 01:43

am i missing something, i am pretty sure uw/fow never dropped dead weapons/sephis, pretty sure they only dropped 'ghost'(eternals, chaos etc) weapons correct me if im wrong.

Here's another one to keep the vaults warm this winter, Max.

I absolutely adore this skin.

Great stuff Wooptie

Glad to see you back!

trademeimfamous · Oct 20, 2015, 04:16 AM // 04:16

Hey, I've completed something, so time to show off!
(yes, I'm aware that this is really lame compared to the other stuff posted here)

It took me ~10 months of actively searching to finish this, I already had 5 skins when i started.
I'm really glad I can now choose any skin I want especially since daggers were the first thing that I was into collection-wise.

Thanks to everyone who sold me these daggers and special thanks to system.fan who sold me the very first pair after i began my active search and eventually the final pair a couple of days ago! <3

Oh you please my OCD in every possible way!

Lovely daggers mate.
